I have been going here since 1967. After all these years, the food is still excellent. My favorites are the taquitos, mordaditos and a chicken burrito with guacamole.
This is Rubio's Numero Uno. But, don't let the looks fool you. This is the epic center of the fish taco explosion in San Diego and then the US. For that reason alone, it makes my top ten list.
Located in the Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa, this restaurant offers excellent food in a beautiful setting. But it is a bit pricey like the hotel.
Above average, but has that 'tourista' food feel of old town. My carnitas were tender, but lacked the bark of superior carnitas. The Naga Dragon Salsa was hot, but not the barn burner I expected.
Slightly average neighborhood taco shoppe. Negatives: Beans and Rice were below par.
Been coming to his place for thirty plus years. First came when I lived two blocks away on Isthmus Ct. The food remains uniformly good to above average.
Long known for it's vibrant bar scene, the food has slipped markedly over the past ten years. They have 'gringo-ized' the food to appeal to the touristas that come to Old Town State Park.
A College Area fixture. If you got the muchies on a Saturday night, then this is the place to go. Food is slightly above average.
Below Average. Decorated like it's name sake. The food is pricey and does not match the decor.
Place has been hopping for years and there is a reason. Inexpensive, good and large portions. Perfect for the Ocean Beach crowd and after a eventful Saturday night
The taco shoppe inside the market is quite good. Not much seating and the market is quite busy... for dessert, pick-up some sweets from the market's bakery.
This venue has seen better days and so has the food. That said, it is better than El Torito
This place is well above average. Owners pay attention to details as all the food is prepared in house and the place is immaculate and supper clean.
Been here many times. Last-time, the beans were dry and too salty. The rice just so-so. The chicken lacked flavor and was over done, i.e. rubbery. So, this must have been an 'off-day' for Lotitas
Well above average, but not quite excellent. Carne Asada was tasty as was the carnitas. Bean and rice were good--had they been better we'd have a superior to excellent place
Good place with average food. The menu is pretty extensive, but I would trade that for better food.
Your basic below average burrito place. They used canned beef for the carne asada. What's with that? So, I'd stick to the chicken and pork.
Your basic beach taco shoppe. The menu is unique with those wacky combinations of flavors that surfers oh so love. The food is above average and flavorful with generous portions.
Below average taco shoppe. The carne asada was flavorful but tough. The beans and rice lack robust flavor as well. Salsa bar was limited and just average in flavor.
Used to be excellent but has slipped. Average at best. The beans and rice lacked flavor and salt--and the texture--UGH.
Below average. The beans were the consistency of first grade paste with about as much flavor. Enchilada was bland as was the tostada.
Above average. The polo asado was tasty. The beans while a bit salty had good consistency and flavor.
Above Average. Ok, the location doesn't look like much, but the food is flavorful and inexpensive.
Average. Nice location, but the food is not remarkable. My the hominy in my pozole was over cooked and looked and tasted more like soggy popcorn. That said the dorado tacos were quite good.
Above average taco shoppe. The beans were a good flavor and consistency. The chicken filling for the burritos was excellent, but I love it when it more stew like in nature.
Above Average. Had the Specialty Burrito #1 Lupes. Carne Asada, Bacon, and a chipotle cream sauce. This was very tasty and filling.
